Tone 118.8 is tone code 17 on Rino's and most Motorola and many other
makes of FRS radios.
Many one and two channel FRS radios use different channels, FRS
CH 1 is common. On search operations the ability to monitor and transmit on all
channels is preferred. Most Radio Shack 1 or two channel radios will be on
FRS CH-8 (Channel A) and FRS Channel 6 (Channel B).
We are in the process of making a list of common FRS channels by
Manufacture for 1-2 channel radios. If you have radios not set up the same
as above please e-mail the layout to us.
